Approximately 12% or 1 out of every 8 newborns arrive prematurely

Delivery of an extremely low birth weight infant (≤2 lbs. 3 oz.) remains to be an extreme medical emergency, requiring specialized techniques and equipment

The Nasco Life/form Micro-Preemie Manikin simulates a 25-week neonate – the smallest, most realistically proportioned preterm infant available. The soft, entirely flexible body offers a variety of built-in features that make this a very lifelike and easy-to-use training aid for many commonly performed procedures.

Extraordinary realism is achieved with the preemie’s pose and lack of muscle tone. It proves invaluable for simulation training in the care and handling techniques for infants requiring multiple medical interventions at the limits of viability.

Not only is the Micro-Preemie Manikin simple to use for simulation, it requires no specialized equipment, and is compact and highly mobile. It’s perfect for NICU, emergency medical response teams, flight medics, mock code scenarios, nursing schools, medical schools, hospitals, and family education. Also use for meeting objectives of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program’s course curriculum.
